Shutterbug Challenge #5 - Playing with Filters

[loofah]

It is the New Year, filled with all of our hopes and dreams. Now the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over it is the time to try something new. Post a photo that you have used a filter on. Really have fun playing with this one - see what effects you can make.


You can use the filters that came with your graphics program or any others you have.


These two should both be able to be used in most programs...

http://www.optikvervelabs.com/ (this is Virtual Photographer which is the best one in my opinion!)

There are many many more if you do a search for them - but these two are my favourites by far!


This challenge runs until the 18th of January and ends on that day at midnight. Please post your photo/layout before then to receive your freebie shown here..

Love to use filters! This is one of my favourites. One I use often too is Xpose! from LittleInkpot, also a free one. Has some other cool ones there too.
Used it on this one, but it's only to make the picture better. She was rather red and shiny, now much less.

But usually I use it for a dramatic effect. Didn't upload layouts yet with it, but I'll do it soon!

I have no idea why I used this photo of these cows but I like how the filters looked on it. I took this photo that day we were 4-wheelin' and I took those weird photos. My dh was making faces and yelling at the cows like a 5 or 6 year old. It was funny. They were just looking at him like he lost his mind (in the photo they looking at him). Very funny memories, lol, for sure :D :D

[loofah]

These are all fabulous! I am so glad you are all having so much fun!!

[Sokkie]

Here is another layout, one with a more dramatic effect of Xpose! of Little Inkpot. Turned the photo into sepia after the filtering.

I didn't do a layout for this challenge but instead just worked on a photo for the application of filters.

Here's my photo for the challenge:

I don't know why, but I felt like including the original photo. I used the Dreamy setting from Virtual Photographer.

[chantryss]

I used the !XPOSE filter on this LO's photo of my grandmother.
